35th Anniversary Bash

Our bookshop is excited to be celebrating its 35th Anniversary on November 9th, and we wanted to give our readers some special deals as a THANK-YOU!
 

Free to attend. Registration will close by noon ET on November 7th.
 

Registration is a MUST for this Open House. As there will be a gift and something extra, for each attendee, we need to ensure that we have enough supplies. We will have bins out for our readers that will be filled with:

$2 books

This is a great way to stock up on reads for the winter!
